CHAPTER XVI
Hill and the others didn't pay any attention to the chattering girl, and found a camp nearby to rest. They were really tired from yesterday's day, continuous fighting, continuous bad luck, and they didn't even have time to eat and replenish their energy.
The costumes and swords on the five people are really not costumes, but reincarnation equipment. The Apostle's personal storage cannot be opened in this world, and neither can the Team Warehouse. Even if it can be opened, the apostle equipment in this world that is completely controlled by the superstring space, it is unknown whether there is a conflict of laws.
But don't forget, Qin Mei was originally a member of the reincarnation, and there was a team under him. Although she has now been transformed into an apostle, she still has a lot of reincarnation equipment.
She has always carried a separate storage ring on her body, although she can't use it in the Shattered Starry Sky, but when she arrives in this world, she can use these equipment to arm some Hill and the others a little. Even if these things don't really fit Hill and the others, it's better than nothing.
They rested in the camp for a short time, but Qin Lun and Alan and the others ran into a little trouble.
Hours earlier, the group of young men had cautiously searched ahead following the trails left by the fjord sea monsters in the bushes. The monster was seen to be very large, with flattened bushes everywhere, outlining a distinct "grass path" in the forest.
As the search unfolded, the image of a monster slowly formed in everyone's minds. This monster with incredible strength is at least three and a half meters tall, because there are broken branches of this height on the way.
Its nest is closer to the water's edge, or it is an amphibious organism because of the wet water stains on the flattened bushes along the way. It weighs a lot, leaving visible footprints on some of the mud floors.
However, these huge footprints with only four toes made everyone even more afraid of this monster they had not yet met.
After more than two hours of tracking, everyone slowly discovered that something was wrong. Considered to be an amphibious monster, it did not take a detour to the fjord, but headed straight into the depths of Acadia National Park.
"Did we misjudge, it is not an amphibious monster, but deliberately ambushed in the fjord in advance and waited for the night to come out and attack?" Alan asked Qin Lun with some unconfidence.
After tracking down all the way, because Qin Lun was able to make correct judgments from time to time, these young people who were not in the deep world had unconsciously regarded Qin Lun as the backbone of the team. Donald, who was also older than them, remained silent and followed the team in a low-key manner after the original Jianyi.
"Is there a bigger lake on the island?" Qin Lun thought about it and asked.
"Yes, according to the GPS point, there is a relatively large glacial lake in front of us." Natasha looked at the GPS map location on her phone, flipped through the tourist map in her hand, and replied.
"Chris, you're saying the lake is connected to the fjord? The lakes here are all freshwater lakes. Alan said incredulously.
Having said that, he already believed in his heart that the water of the freshwater lake was snow from melting glaciers, but that didn't mean that there was no fjord at the bottom of the lake.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little anxious, "If the lake in front of us really connects to the fjord, then we have to hurry." If the monster takes the hostages into the lake, they won't survive. ”
"Alan, don't worry, it's useless for us to catch up, I have a gut feeling that the guns in our hands are of little use against that monster." Donald, who had not spoken, suddenly said with a bitter face.
"At least the gunfire will draw the rangers in Arcadia, and maybe scare the monster and the hostages will be saved." A hint of banter flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, and he said with confidence.
Sure enough, hearing Qin Lun say this, Allen and the others' eyes lit up. No matter what type of ferocious monster you are, you should be scared when you hear a gunshot for the first time, and it would be great if you could save a few of your companions who were taken captive.
After all, they are just a group of college students, and they lack the courage to face unknown monsters. After a few hours of interval, as soon as I calmed down, I began to feel scared.
"Rustle" Just as everyone was talking, a strange sound came from the bushes next to them, and John and Alan suddenly turned their guns on that side.
"Don't shoot, it's us, it's us!" A panicked voice came from the bushes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was a human voice.
"It's great to meet you guys!" A man in tattered clothes ran out from behind the bushes and sat down on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"Dinah?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and blurted out.
The person who ran out from behind the bushes was none other than Dinah, a missing black girl and Luke's girlfriend. She disappeared last night and didn't expect to be here.
"What about Susan and Stearnson?" Qin Lun pulled the girl up and asked expressionlessly.
Wilson and his party are six in total, of which Wilson and Luke are dead, and before they die, they say that Karin has been taken captive by monsters, while the other three are missing. Although that monster was extremely powerful, it was impossible to carry several hostages on its back, and they naturally would not all be captured.
"Susan has been captured by monsters, Stenson ...... He's hurt! Dinah's eyes bloomed with a blur of eyeshadow on her face, and she sobbed.
"Is he badly injured?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and asked pretending to be confused.
"I didn't see it clearly, he slashed a monster with an axe chopping wood, and then he was captured by the others who vomited blood!" Dinah cried sadly, "After Susan was captured by the monster last night, he fled with me. But he followed to save people, and he told me to hide in the bushes and keep a sound......"
"Oh?" Qin Lun was a little surprised, that man with glasses still had this kind of courage, it seemed that he really liked the girl named Susan, but he didn't know if he could give him a chance now that he had become a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate.
"He also slashed a monster?" Qin Lun's face changed a few times, thinking of the tragic situation of Wilson and Luke's corpses in the camp, he had the urge to vomit blood, no matter how he thought about it, that kind of thing couldn't be injured by Stannson, right?
However, he quickly noticed Dinah's statement, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "Dinah, you just said that there are other monsters, is there more than one thing that attacked you?" ”
"Well, there were five of them, two big and three small, and the one Stenson had slashed was the smallest, probably only half a man tall!" Dina raised her arm, gestured at her waist, and said weakly.
She also knew that if she didn't make it clear, it would be hard for others to believe that Stensen could hurt a monster. The glasses man's sudden burst of courage in the face of five monsters made her feel incredulous now, and she only felt that she was about to lose her nerdy companion.
Qin Lun's face turned white and blue, and after tracking all the way just now, he had already noticed that those footprints were a little strange. The pace was too frequent, but at that time, he had a preconceived idea, and he only thought that the monster was carrying a hostage, so he walked too slowly, and he didn't expect it to be two big ones, one in front of the other.
As for those little monsters, they may not have enough weight and did not leave too obvious footprints, so they were ignored by him. After all, this is a tourist area, and there are so many footprints left by humans that it is difficult to distinguish clearly.
"Dinah, your name is Dinah, right?" Alan patiently waited for Qin Lun to finish asking, and quickly interjected and asked, "Apart from your companions, have you ......seen anything else?"
Alan and John rambled on Carmen and Fanny's appearances, and although the words were a little messy, Dinah understood them.
It's just that after hearing it, the black girl's expression was a little strange, and she said hesitantly: "You said that the two people, I may have seen the man, but the girl named Fanny has not seen it." ”
"Carmen? Somewhere, he won't be taken captive by those monsters! Alan and the others were overjoyed and asked expectantly.
He ...... It's in the small pine forest ahead, but be prepared! Dinah said cautiously.
"Carmen!" The faces of Alan and the others changed, and the meaning of Dinah's words could be understood even by a fool, and that Carmen was obviously more than lucky.
Alan and the others did not hesitate any longer, and immediately walked in the direction that Dina said.
Qin Lun glanced at Dinah, took off his coat and put it on her, and said with a smile: "You should still be able to walk, follow this road to the west, and you will see the rangers near the camp in a while." We're going to save Susan and Stannson, so we're not with you. ”
"Are you still going to look for those monsters?" Dina grabbed Qin Lun's arm tightly, and said with a pale face, "Give up, that kind of thing is not something that humans can deal with, and if you go, you will only be sent to death, can't you wait for the rangers and police officers in the town to deal with it?" ”
"Then it's too late, not to mention that Arcadia is so big, and by the time the rangers and officers come, those monsters won't know where to go." Qin Lun patted the girl's hand and comforted, "Don't worry, we brought guns, maybe after hearing the gunshots, those monsters will be scared away, and we can also lure the rangers over early." ”
"That'...... I'll go with you! The black girl slowly calmed down, with a determined expression on her face, "I want to avenge Luke, he could have escaped, because he had to cover me, he was ...... by those monsters"
Dina sobbed as she spoke, but she quickly restrained herself, put on Qin Lun's coat, and followed behind the team.
A trace of inexplicable color flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, including Stenson, the appearance of these young people surprised him very much, and at the same time, there was a sense of freshness that was completely different from previous adventures.
There was a sudden hint of excitement in his heart, and there was an expectation that he wanted to see this plot to the end.
"Carmen!" A short distance had the team gotten to the sound of John's angry roar ahead.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Lun's mouth, it seemed that Alan and the others had already found one of their companions.
